@lolly71: I'm impressed by how adept your mom is with the technology.

@notaclevername: Oh yeah? Well when the lil bro and I were out of the house for good, my empty-nesting parental units got a dog and named it the exact name as me except for the first letter changed. And I'm pretty sure they loved her just as much.

It's really weird, I've always been on Team Dog and hated cats growing up. Probably because they made me deathly allergic so in my mind cats = severe asthma/allergy attack plus I found them to be cold.

@janna: Thanks, even though I'm sort of ashamed to drop a SATC reference.

Haha that thing is basically a scrunchie for a cat. NYC cats would SO not wear them.

Her eyebrows are really frightening (Megan.)

She has a myspace [www.myspace.com]

@Mollyboo: Hate is a strong word. I don't care for the girl.

@helen: HA!

@persephone: I must be losing it. I mis-read another comment and than responded to yours.

@SarahMC: AGREED. My female friends are more valuable to me than all the gold in the world. I'm serious about that. And they challenge me and provide me with rigorous debate, constructive criticism, and two-way street support and I would be absolutely lost without them. And for those reasons sometimes It's really…

@persephone: Ok, if you are truly, openly admitting to being a "self-hating woman" than honestly what do you get out of reading this blog? I'm honestly curious.

@petuniacat: True. If you're a self-hating woman, you came to the WRONG place baby!

@SarahMC: Girl I agree with everything you're saying. Whenever I hear women say things like that (guys are cooler! etc.) my first instinct is that they are (if this EVEN exists) a self-hating woman. Basically you're saying that you think YOU yourself is too high-maintenance. OR these other so-called high-maintenance…

@mooseballs: Yeah I'm amazed at Heidi's hair every week. WTF??

@jewess: I TOTALLY agree. I have learned so much from this discussion. I will be the first to admit that I can sometimes be quick to judge when it comes to the obesity problem. But I've also seen people on the other side of the "weight debate" make judgements about thin people (like myself) that are innacurate.

No amount of fake smoke could save that party.

@pantycrickets: Western or Eastern?

I actually just watched The Witches of Eastwick last night. Her, Cher, and Susan Sarandon look fucking AMAZING in that movie.

It's gotta be Tom Sykes. He had no problem publishing a memoir about when he was a booze-soaked, coke-addicted writer.
